Location scout for 'Narcos' has been shot dead in Mexico

Carlos Muñoz Portal, 37, was killed on Monday night while scouting locations for the show, which has chronicled the stories of real-life drugpins in Colombia in the late 1980s and was shifting gears to focus on the cartels in Mexico.

A "Narcos" location scout was gunned down this week after traveling to one of Mexico's most violent regions to hunt for settings to shoot for the fourth season of the hit Netflix show.

Narcos, which has dealt with Columbian cocaine kingpinPablo Escobar, was going to set season 4 in Mexico and feature the Juarez cartel.

Netflix said the facts surrounding his death were "still unknown".

A graduate from the University of the Americas, Munoz has been working in the film industry for more than decade as a locations manager. While there are no concrete details as to the backstory behind the man's murder, sources are saying that local authorities continue to gather information concerning the details of the homicide. Nor confirmation either way had been made public by Netflix at the time of this writing. It's now unclear if Portal's death will affect production or whether the murder will move production back to Columbia.
